Abstract
Virtual learning environments have become a tool to acquire knowledge and avoid limiting access to education. This research study aims at diagnosing, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the performance of elementary school third grade students in Physical Education (PE) at a school of Montería, through the LUDOS platform with the use of ICT. This was a quantitative descriptive correlational study with a single control group composed of 28 students. A survey was applied and two pedagogical workshops were held to determine the correlation between learning mediated by information and communication technologies and the students’ academic performance. The findings show that all participants had access to electronic devices with Internet access. As a result of the virtual workshops, academic performance was found to be higher in 36% of students and it remained stable in 43% of students. Additionally, students’ technological skills, capacities and physical condition were found to be improved.
